son Davis General Horny Jackson, ex Minister

paid glowing tribute to the Stste of Georgia,
referring to her history; said the State was q

THE world" he said, "has been told that the
people of the South made the war to perpetuste
African slavery. This is false. They did not
create, institute. nor do they wish to restore it.

with the tears of confederate widows and orphans,
eastward shall tho principles for which they
fought continue to roll, carrying with it the
blessed light of tho Christian civilization oil
